RIGHT SIDE:
Words on right: Character Introduction
Monster = Evil, who the heck made that rule? This story will destroy that assumption, with monsters fighting for peace.<Touran
She has a pure heart, and is careless and lively. A self-declared idol of the Monster World?James>
As can be seen, his huge bulk contributes much to his bursts of power. Has a kind heart, and actually gets moved easily and cries.<Aki
He doesn’t care if it’s human or monster, if it’s a bad guy he won’t let him off! Is [Black Airs] most temperamental?

The complete volume of Monsters – excerpt
Aki Species:? Type: monster
In pic: —— every bullet hit him!
Although able to move at speeds too fast for the human eye to follow, sometimes that power doesn’t work. One of the reasons is not thinking carefully before moving. Usually a carefree fellow, but once you antagonize him….
Reward: J1000-
Danger level: one star

Aki Soul form
Species: Diawolf Type: s-class monster
Text Below pic:
Once Aki gets angry, he’ll turn into his diawolf soul form. Though his explosive strength and speed increases significantly, a flaw is that he’ll immediately fall into a deep sleep. With a strong body as a weapon, he’s a master at using Monster Fist, and has an ultimate attack.
Reward: J7000000-
Danger Level: unmeasurable
